Pension increase plan stalls in Harrisburg
A proposed constitutional amendment to allow the legislature to boost pensions for state and local government retirees stalled in the Pennsylvania House and the Department of State. The measure faces two more two session passes and voter ratification, with cost notes found erroneous and local newspaper advertising requirements overlooked. Officials warn of fiscal risks to the state retirement system and expect further committee action before a potential ballot in 1977.
